FAQ

  • When should I enroll into this program?

    Whenever you plan to start a successful career in Canada. The sooner you join the program, the more help you will receive. For graduating international students, we recommend enrolling 6 months before your graduation.

  • What is a required time commitment?

    The good thing about this Bootcamp is you can start learning, pause, and continue at any time plus you will have access to everything forever. Including on-demand videos, assignments, and attending all office hour sessions allow up to 3 weeks to complete the whole program.

  • When are the office hours with program instructors?

    There are six office hours every month, about a couple of sessions every week. Each instructor host a dedicated 1-hour office hour every month so you can meet face-to-face with them. Upon enrolling, you will receive a full office hour schedule.

  • What is an office hour session?

    An office hour session is a live Zoom session in which you will meet directly with a program instructor. This is a space where you can get your application reviewed, get advice & guidance directly from a subject matter expert. We are here to help you until you get hired!

  • How will I know this will work for me? I signed up for similar programs before, and I’m still stuck.

    You are not alone. Most international students struggle in the job search and recruitment process. The Isempower Bootcamp is personalized for international students, by professionals and experts who were once international students themselves. We already lived through the challenges you’re facing and the mistakes you’re probably making – and we are here to help you succeed.

  • What if I need to drop out? Is there a refund?

    We get it. Sometimes, life gets in the way. We won’t be able to give you a refund, but you can contact us at hello@isempower.com and we’ll work on a solution personalized to your needs.

  • Can I still apply if I’m not an international student?

    Yes, of course! This program is helpful for any international job seeker who wants to improve their job prospects in Canada.

  • Do you guarantee job placement?

    We believe in our program that it works! That's why we offer a money-back guarantee if 6 months after completing the program and you still don't land a job. Note that you have to be eligible to work in Canada.

  • How does the monthly payment work?

    Monthly instalment payment makes it easier for you to afford our program. You are required to pay the full 4 payments.
